If he said that, i'll give him credit, that's a good line.  But we all know by "birdie it" he means kick it closer when no one is looking then "accidentally" penciling in a birdie score. 

[The Real timschochet 6,410]

In the Dead Zone, Stephen King’s hero (and alter-ego) John Smith is a psychic and dying of a brain tumor. He learns through his psychic powers that a politician named Greg Stillson (with many similarities to Trump which is creepy because this book was written in 1979) will someday be President, become a dictator and bring on a nuclear war. Faced with that dilemma Smith decides to assassinate Stillson. It was a thought experiment by King and an attempt in fiction to justify an assassin. 
 

But we don’t live in a fictional world. Here there are no psychics that can tell us for sure what happens next. Here there is no justification for assassination of an American politician.

Trump and his love letter friend Kim Jung Un should have a Netflix live golf special!  I'm sure they would get all Hole in Ones on all 18 and they'd make Billions!

The fact that he chose to have a rally outside the capital that day means he had bare minimum "something" to do about what happened.  
 

he could have had a rally in front of the white house.  But he chose that spot. 

Trump wasn’t at the Capitol January 6th sh!tlib

His rally was right outside. And his cult only had to walk like 2 blocks to storm it. Must have been a hard couple blocks to walk. They couldn't hold their bowels and had to beat up cops to get to the rest room. Because some of them smeared poop on the walls. Maybe Don the "billionaire" could had sprung for more outhouses at his rally.  Also he could have called out all the "very fine people" at his rally with Confederate flags.  But maybe he knew they would snap when his supporters bashed Capital Police with them.  You know what? He really is just like Abe Lincoln. Luckily for him, i don't think he is a fan of theatre. (Unless Boebert invites him)

2 miles? That's like a 15 minute walk.  But i guess not for Trump supporters. Probably the only exercise they've had in years. (The walk and breaking windows and fighting cops)  They had to grab their bear spray and weapons to assault cops and Horned Hats on the way.  So i guess it wasn't that close. Oh and it takes a while to construct a gallow for Mike Pence "if he doesnt do the right thing".  Hopefully they are getting exercise on the prison yard before they put their mats down (towards Mar A Lago) 5 times a day and pray to Father Trump.

My hip does kind of hurt.  I took the dog on 5 walks today.  My girlfriend has a pop up event shes being paid $3,000 for. So i miss her but she'll be home soon.  But i'm glad for your concern.  Thanks!

My cardio is fine, dummy.  You can't walk 2 miles in 15 minutes:  a 7.5 minute mile is a good jog/run.  

But you are a pseud who lives in NoCal, maybe you have your people "walk" two miles for you while you post here and get your latte from Starbucks?

I actually have never had a coffee. But OK.  Trump's rally was "2 miles" from the Capital.  That makes it even worse.  They "walked/jogged" hella far to beat up cops, break windows and set up a Gallow.   Maybe Trump did't want them to do that.  But the people at his rally DID THAT.

So, you have no idea about exercise but call me out on my cardio?  And think you can turn that into helping your point?  And they set up a Gallow?  I know what you mean, it's still idiotic:  like, they were going to hang Pence from an actual faux gallows at a protest?

But hey, it's all good that there was an apparent second attempt on Trump's life.  Because orange man bad.

So I have a question for those that know guns better than I do (which is probably most of you): 

They said he was 500 yards away from Trump with an AR-15. At what range would an average guy be able to hit someone with that weapon? 100 yards? 200 yards? More? Or do you have to be a trained sniper to be accurate from 100 yards or more?

But, Hakeem Jeffries saying "he must be stopped" couldn't possibly incite others to try to kill him?  Reminder:  it kinda just happened.

Technically, he didn’t say “he” must be stopped, he said “they,” referring to “extreme MAGA republicans.”  Were there any other attempted assassinations on Republicans today?

Also, I can’t help but notice the irony in people here blaming statements like Jeffries’ in a thread that also contains a post from an account called “End Wokeness.”  If you think saying “they must be stopped” could make someone want to kill Trump, then saying “End Wokeness” could make someone want to kill whoever they think is responsible for wokeness.  (I personally think it’s silly for either to be blamed for violence)

Although if there’s one prominent social media account that could possibly be blamed for violence, it might be Libs of TikTok, who despite claiming to be against violence, is constantly providing crazy people with potential targets.  I’m not surprised the same hypocrite in here blaming this assassination attempt on the media, is also sharing Libs of Tik Tok posts.  If people really want to “tone down the rhetoric,” that includes Libs of Tik Tok.

Semantics on "he" vs. "they".

"End wokeness" is the same thing.

"Libs of Tik Tok" is the real problem.

Very centrist of you.   

Summary:  there appears to be another attempt to kill Trump.  But the above tripe.

For the record, obviously trying to kill Trump is horrible and shouldn’t happen.

I just wouldn’t blame the media for it.

If people are, they probably shouldn’t be using equally bad “rhetoric.”

The MSM spends 24/7 telling people that Trump is a threat to democracy.  I know that centrists like yourself like to think that everyone on the Left is a Nobel Laureate, but realistically, they aren't, and some people take that pablum to heart.

100 to 200 yards pretty easy shot for an average deer hunter even without a scope.  Over 200 yards without a scope is a difficult shot.  Anything over 300 yards even with a scope you are going to need a lot of practice.  500 yards is damn tough except for trained snipers.
